Title: Electrocatalytic Reduction of Carbon Dioxide with a Well-Defined PN 3 -Ru Pincer Complex

Abstract

Abstract A well‐defined PN 3 −Ru pincer complex ( 5 ) bearing a redox‐active bipyridine ligand with an aminophosphine arm has been established as an effective and stable molecular electrocatalyst for CO 2 reduction to CO and HCOOH with negligible formation of H 2 in a H 2 O/MeCN mixture.
